Headphones that never sounded better thanks to the power of personalised audio

We are all truly unique in so many ways, but one of the most overlooked is our hearing. Each of our ears is composed of a variety of factors, from anatomy to life experience, and that means no two listeners will experience the same music in the same way, even with the same pair of headphones or earbuds.

That is until Denon’s new PerL and PerL Pro True Wireless earbuds, which put personalised sound at the forefront of your listening experience. The result is extraordinary, with the PerLs elevating sound to a level of clarity greater than you’ve ever heard before.  

Using proprietary technology (Masimo AAT), these brilliant earbuds create a custom hearing profile based on your full ear’s response, meaning you can enjoy listening to your favourite music, movies, shows and audiobooks as they were intended to be heard.

 Audio as unique as you are 

Using Denon’s signature hand-tuned sound, the PerL earbuds offer a wonderful listening experience. While other devices can analyse the outer ear, PerL earbuds use proprietary Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology (Masimo AAT), to measure the outer, middle and inner ear - using Otoacoustic Emissions via the Cochlea bone. 

The Denon PerL and PerL Pros are the world’s first earbuds to measure sound this way, the setup alone giving users a true reading of how they interpret sound. 

Why does that matter?

Because sounds become signals in the inner ear, that’s where the real magic of listening takes place. Using this data, PerL can build a custom profile bespoke to your ears, enhancing the depth, detail and clarity of sound specifically for your hearing. You can even see the difference between your left and right ear profiles!

Plus, if you opt for the PerL Pro, you get the benefit of Qualcomm aptX Lossless technology with compatible devices, making for clear and vibrant sound and reducing audio quality loss from Bluetooth connectivity. You’ll also have the ability to use spatial audio powered by Dirac Virtuo, compressing the cinema experience into one palm-size package; imagine walking into a space and hearing music as though it was live, playing all-around you.

Perfect for every occasion

It’s not just the sound that has an identity - PerL’s unique coin form is not only a statement, but serves a stronger functional purpose as a pad for Custom Touch Controls; whether tapping once to activate ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), twice to answer calls or three times to switch to next track, it’s totally up to you.  

The PerL earbuds are available in black and a newly released white colorway, with a timeless aesthetic that will seamlessly fits into work, life and play, offering all of the features you’d expect from modern wireless earbuds as well as high-quality voice calls and weather and sweat resistance (IPX4 rating).

And, with different awareness modes for different scenarios, both models feature Adaptive ANC (active noise cancellation) which cancels out sound based on the environment you’re in and Social Mode. The ANC on PerL is so immersive, it’s ideal for working in a busy coffee shop, getting into the zone at the gym, flights or commuting - careful not to miss your stop though! 

PerLs naturally become part of your pocket with each set including a number of different-sized eartips and wings, allowing users to find the fit that’s right for them. The comfort is such that you don’t feel them in your ear - they’re just there. 

PerL Pro earbuds also benefit from Multipoint, allowing you to connect to two devices at once, making switching between devices seamless - perfect for digital nomads. 

You won’t have to worry about your buds running out of juice during the day, either; the Denon PerL offers up to six hours of battery life per charge, with up to 18 hours of wireless charging in the case, whilst the PerL Pro provides up to eight hours, with up to 24 hours in the case.

Experience sound like you never hear before - the brilliant PerL and PerL Pro earbuds are available for just £189 and £299 respectively - visit denon.com to discover more.
